about

The GEMS series is a collections of instrumentals I made on a 15 years period, between the time I was staying with my parents as a kid, to the beginning of my professional life in Paris in my Bastille studio. Some songs are really old and made with my 4 track recorder without any software, some were done with Pro-24 and an Atari computer, some with Notator on ST at Bastille. Each song has its specific descriptions so refers to these for more information. I gathered this music and made this GEMS series for the record. There are some good stuff in it, some magical moment where an improvisation becomes a complex music score, things that I don't understand about how creativity and inspiration works, like magic.
Why has techno been reduced to mere basic, repetitive beats? Initially, it was characterized by its melodic harmonies and innovative sound design. However, gradually, it has transformed into a product of the DJ industry, which now produces music that mimics African ritual music, devoid of harmony and melody.

If you are a fan of Mike Oldfield, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, or Jean Michel Jarre, you've come to the right place. I create techno infused with harmonies and melodies, inspired by classical music and a deep commitment to sound design. My music does not conform to a specific style beyond my own inspiration. It is not crafted for dancing, but rather as true music to be appreciated on a quality sound system or through excellent headphones—definitely not on phone speakers!
